Hey, how ya doin.  The memory thing is a FAQ for linux. Linux does not like 
idle memory, so when it sees some free it uses it, but if it is needed for 
another app it will free it up for the higher priority app. It is not a 
problem and should cause no slowdowns or hangs. Simplistic explanation, but I 
am a simple minded......   eer, no,  simple kinda guy. : )
